what a great place to hold a meeting! Thank you Tobias-sqaure (Tobias Moser and Tobias Brügmann) for organizing the #Optogenetics 2025 conference and for inviting me!

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).

I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

What a fantastic 2 days at Frontiers in Neurophotonics. Huge thanks to the organizers for putting it together and for inviting me. It was great catching up with our friend Markus Sauer and Le epic @christlet.bsky.social, & shared a taxi ride with THE @jungmannlab.bsky.social 🧡

Did you arrive safely in Bordeaux or still stuck?

That's one beautiful continuous microtubulin label!

Took me 26 hours between rail and flight, what would have been 6 hours on a normal day. Flight delayed multiple times, then cancelled l, then rerouted to Munich, then hotel at midnight, early flight to Bordeaux with 3 hours of sleep. We were only missing the drones over Munich!

Haha, I know the feeling. I always start in a smaller bowl, convinced it’ll fit, & end up shoveling the whole thing into a bigger one halfway through. The moment you add dressing, it’s like the salad expands (pun intended) in size. Fruit salads no better, the grapes always seem to invite friends.

you inspired me to actively work on including such goodies for future events. Fingers crossed for the #Gordon Conference application. I can't thank you enough for endorsing it and even more for visiting us in Göttingen for #GEF25.

#GEF2025 the meeting is winding down, but it's been an incredible few days. I gave my last talk on behalf of Nature Methods yesterday. It's been amazing to see how far this field has come in ten years. A huge thanks to my hosts Ali and Silvio!!

In the #GEF25 Presidential Lecture, chaired by @eboyden3.bsky.social, Stefan Hell presented a conceptual breakthrough, a dramatic shift from the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on super-resolution: fluorophores no longer need on–off states, effectively nullifying the diffraction barrier.

Ali Shaib @alishaib.bsky.social · 12d

On behalf of the #GEF25 organizing team, Silvio and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to @abberior.rocks for their partnership and for helping make GEF25 a success for the community.

At #GEF25 to prove Ed Boyden needs no introduction, Silvio Rizzoli gave us a pop quiz about him, and we passed 😂 but I learned he has a 115 page CV!!
